PUG

Hi there sorry if this is the wrong section, but I was hoping Pug would be able to tell me how to upgrade my ROM, etc because I'am still using the original.
Also could someone be so kind as to list a tap by tap guide to setting up my XDA IIi to connect to O2 Active, and Mobile Web, as I have a pay as you go SIM card in the XDA IIi?
Thanks alot peeps.

Hi, There is plenty in the Alpine sections about upgrading to the various ROM sections, just have a look or search. You will find the files here, ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Alpine/
You can see what PUG ROM version I use, which I have found to be very good.
Sometime ago I uploaded all the cab files for your Carrier Settings, just copy cab to XDA IIi and tap to run, after the cab has installed the settings, it will delete itself, so make sure you keep a copy for future use.

The latest PUG upgrade is here, ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Alpine/O2_Roms__Camera_Fixed_Pug
There are 2 files here, one has all the unneccessary 02 software outstripped and the other with all the 02 software included.
Once downloaded, extract to a folder on your desktop (or anywhere on your PC). Make sure your PDA is connected via the cradle and Activesync. Goto the folder you have extracted the files to on your PC, click to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, just click OK, then you should see a message saying it is checking your Device, your devices screen should go blank (Although you will see some dark text including the word Serial on your PDA)
You should then get a screen saying what ROM version you have and the New version, press ok then a screen will pop up saying checking device, the common thing to happen here is it will stop in this screen, what 5 mins if it doesn't change then don't touch your PDA, CTRL-Alt-DEL on your PC keyboard to bring up Task Manager, select the Process Tab and look for the file name MaUpgradeUt_noID, highlight it with one click and then press End Process button, go back to the folder and run MaUpgradeUt_noID again follow the screen instructions again and then it will update this time, indicated by a install bar screen, it will take about 20mins to complete.
Once updated remove your PDA from its cradle and hold the Power Button down and at the same time press the softreset hole with your Stylus, this will Hard Reset (Factory Settings) your device, depending on the version you have installed follow instructions on the PDA, it will install some more files which take 5 to 10 mins to install. Thats it you device is now updated.
For your carrier settings goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26463, there you will find the CAB files for your Phone Carrier (remember there is a file for PAYT and Contract for each Carrier, download the correct one for you), download the correct one for you and copy to your PDA, tap to run and your correct MMS/GPRS/WAP settings are then installed. Very Happy
**Please Note before you update your PDA. Please copy anything you want to keep on your PDA to your PC, don't worry about SD storage or the other Perminent Storage area as the update leaves these untouched. If you want to save your Contacts and or your Appointments and Tasks then goto Settings on your PDA select second Tab and then select Perminent Save, tick your selection and tap OK, then once you have carried out the update go back to Perminant Save and tick boxes you want restored and then tap OK, this function will dynamically keep your backup upto date, so you can use this anytime.
Phew, hope this helps.

I have tried all teh CAB files, and all the individual settings, to get full GPRS working on my O2 PAYT SIM.
After 2 emails to o2's technical department (which at least they answered within 24 hours) I was assured that the reason I couldnt connect is the APN whould be set to mobile.o2.co.uk - but that ONLY worked on contract plans.
They categorically stated that PAYT O2 ONLY features WAP GPRS, i.e. those small WAP-sites suited to mobile phones, and not the 'full deal' (ie web browsing, irc, MSN MEssenger etc)
...so, after a LONG time with O2 PAYT, I am now a Vodafone customer with a Vodafone PAYT SIM!
I can surf the web, join my irc channels, use MSN Messenger, the works, and they emailled me the correct settings the very same day I emailled them to ask for them too.

Hi,
just got an 2nd hand xda IIi earlier on today and seem somewhat shafted as i only have macs and no pcs, been looking arround for the last few hours to find some form of sync software which doesnt cost
can anyone tell me how to update the rom from a mac?
cheers

Ok,
so im guessing from spending hours searching the forums here last night unless im willing to buy pocketmac or missing sync there is nothing.
think i will use a virtual pc *sigh*
roll on the x86 mac hardware.

Mac OS is based on BSD. I believe there are scripts floating around here in perl that any decent *nix flavour should run. Perhaps some of these might be able to help you.

if you can run a Virtual PC with access to USB ports on the Mac, I'd reckon that would be the easiest (!) approach to adding Activesync for syncing files etc & installing any applications, as all of the pocket PC apps' installers are also windows-based.
Joe

had a long look for perl stuff and didnt find much so got virtual pc installed now. just got pugs rom on the xda and the speed has incresed (it doesn't feel as slugish anymore) wifi signal is a lot better, but i still seem to have BT issues, wonder if thats something to do with my headset though.. sounds like bad reception sometimes even though the phone is only in my coat pocket.

Need TomTom 6 on the AT&T Tilt - Read Here

Not trying to start 1000 threads related to TomTom on the phone, but there seems to be a reoccurring issue with people wanting to get TomTom working on their AT&T Tilt. A lot of people, including myself earlier today, were running into issues with most of the posted files working on the AT&T Tilt. We'd get the message about the ROM being needed to be upgraded. Well buried deep in one of the TomTom threads there was a post by d12ag0n49 pointing to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JZI2MQES (rar archive with password elrincondedey) that seems to solve the problem for AT&T Tilt users.
I have also uploaded just the cab file onto rapidshare without a password at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/62623762/ttn_6_032_8351_HTCNLD.cab.html
This version appears to work just fine on the AT&T tilt. It does not come with any maps and does link to getting the one free map online (although link never loaded for me). Just simple add the cab file onto your Tilt and install away. You'll have a single voice to choose from without getting additional voices.
Hope this helps.
Steven

i hear you... but man niether one wants to work for me. i guess im sh** out of luck.
but a question. you say just put the cab file in the tilt.
now in laymans terms i need more! assuming i have not installed anything related to tt where would i install this cab file?

Using ActiveSync you need to copy over the .cab file onto your phone (or maybe you can just save it through your browser on the phone). Once you have got it on the phone, you need to use File Explorer to navigate to the directory you saved it in. Find it and run it and it should install after that. What problem are you getting?

This TomTom .cab installed fine, and now I'm configuring it. I haven't finished, but just wanted to pause and thank you for the Female Eva voice from the NETHERLANDS! Like I understand that!

LOL yea might be a bit difficult, but at least you can see what's going on, right? If someone wants to post up detailed instruction on changing the voices/languages please do!

lol geez i think im going to give up
ok via sync i have "explore" which opens the phone.
1 i have copied the whole file and tried also just the contents...no luck you click on files nothing
2 i have copied the file and tried also just the contents into "my mobile phone"...no luck you click on files nothing
its as if after i copy them into the phone the are useless
the closest i have came is with one of the downloads it came as a install wizard which would extract it. but the phone says i need to update rom.

lets say I have a bunch of maps. how do I installthem so tom tom can see them?

lets say you share those maps...ahaha jk
this is where i need to be. try installing that ver (above links) of tt and then i believe you can use tt home or manually install your self in the proper directory.
i just cant get tt itself to install AAARRRGGG
good luck

you're disconnecting your phone from activesync, then using file explorer on your phone to "click" on the cabs you copied over, right?

If you click on a .cab file in file explorer on your phone, it shouldn't "open" (as in let you see the various files within the .cab), it should simply start installing. Not sure what's going on with you.
For those looking for voices, just google free tomtom voices, there are multiple places to find them (and there are some available directly from TomTom). Once you find the ones you want, you just copy those files directly into the "voices" folder that TomTom created. For me, it's in the root of my storage card. For maps, it created a "My documents" folder on my storage card, and the maps are stored in there. Once you get the maps and voices saved in the locations it expects them to be, you just switch to that voice and map in "preferences" within TomTom.

Hate to gloat, but I got TomTom6 working on my Tilt and it works great. Forget the english voices, go for the Darth Vader one!
A quick google search for "tomtom voices" yields a ton of sites.

Quick Menu on Tilt

Tryed this on my Tilt and so far it seems to run fine with no problems. It replaces/adds functionally to the start button on the main screen. Has alot of options to customize it also. Its freeware.Simply make a folder called quickmenu in your programs dir, and add the files and click to run it.

ya, been using it myself. I like it. it's a lot like Windows XPs start menu

I love how it adds a % to the topbar battery icon, no more guessing from the stupid bars anymore.

i use SPB pocket plus which adds a few pixel bar across the top. I prefer that spot that quick menus battery takes for HTC task manager. it's a preference thing though.

can you post a screen shot of what this looks like? Thanks

The author has a thread going in the hacking forum on xda:

I just noticed that.
Once you try it out you wont go back to the standard wm6 menu button. Infact you can run both at once if you want just click on "start" for the original menu, or the little windows icon next to it for this quick menu.

QuickMenu is fantastic
Long ago I used to use SmallMenu. It was too slow though, for some reason. I have been using QuickMenu for a couple of weeks and I cannot live witout it! In fact I thought Microsoft was going to build something like this into WM6, and was very surprised they didn't bother...
This is freeware from China. I have version 2.7.387.1527. The web site for this software is:
http://www.alensw.com
What version was posted here? And where can we get a version that will be upgraded in the future, and could have an english web site? I guess you could use google to translate the above web page...

i'm having trouble getting this to work on my tilt, i cant get the file to open and install, any suggestions?

Download zip from first post
unzip the 4 files in it
put the 4 files in a folder on your tilt (make a folder in "program files" called quickmenu)
browse to the exe and tap on it
should work just fine. You will not see anything setup on your ppc. After thats done just click on the windows start icon (upper left corner) and the smaller menu should appear all installed and ready to go.
It is not a pc setup program, the exe is already in ppc format and ready to run on your ppc.

Weather PlugIn on HTC Home Page not updating.

The weather plugin is not updating on my tilt. I keep getting "Unable to retrieve data for selected city." Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem?

I've seen that too -- it's failed when connected to two different WiFi networks, so I think the problem is on the server end (accuweather.com, IIRC).

Good to know!
Same here, this morning I couldn't connect. Yesterday it was working fine, but last night I loaded in a new 'power status' application... Good to know it's not something I did!

Same here on my AT&T Tilt since Sunday night.

Mine just started this morning. Accuweather's site is working fine but since I'm not the only one it must not be my phone or connection.

I'm in the process of reading through and trying this fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187

The HTC home apps floating around have been modified so that they use a custom city database that spawns your requested city's forecast. This is done via a weather server that's owned not by HTC or accuweather, but by a private person (he's a member on thee forums, N2A).
N2A recently made changes to the way the data is pulled from his server. No longer can it use the modified IP-based hosts entries (which is what it was doing before).
The best way to get weather working again is to install N2A's patched home plugin then add the city to the XML per his instructions.
I used the patched Schen 2.1 HTC Home plugin and it works awesome again.

Why are we using his server instead of downloading from accuweather?

This plugin was made by HTC but never really intended to go to US market. The setup between accuweather and HTC only allowed for certain cities, and only a limited number of US cities are in the orignal database. The accuweather data just isn't there for all cities, I've tried following the syntex in the weather XML file and tried adding my home town. It just wouldn't work. So N2A modified the code int he plugin to point to his server. HTC Home Customizer does the same thing, when using the custom db, it redirects the request to N2A's server first.
N2A has made some changes and the old method is no longer working. You have to download one of his recently patched home plugins and enter the city zip code into XML file as instructed.

Ok I deselected my HTC Home in the Today settings and then downloaded "For other devices: UPX compressed" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187.
This is Schen's 2.1 with N2A weatherpatch. After this install I am able to add my custom city with HTC Home Customizer 1.0b without having to edit the XML files.
Just thought I'd share my success.

I had this same problem but that was from installing HTC Home Customizer. After I uninstalled HHC it still did the same thing. I had to hard reset and start from fresf again to get my weather working again. Does anyone using HHC have that same problem or did I do something wrong?

Could the program point to another server???
Could the software point to another server? ie:www.weather.com
www.nws.noaa.gov
www.accuweather.com
weather.yahoo.com

Hello, with the same problem since installing HHC.

ok people, this is an easy fix.
Uninstall prior versions, install the 2.1 version, find the weather XML file in \htchome directory, save the file to your PC, modify the file with the proper cities you want, goto the weather tab, click on the city and pull the new city you just added to the XML file. DONE!
It can be done in 5 minutes or less. This si not the fault of N2A nor the author of HHC. There's just been a change of the way the data is acquired, this was done to help users of certain networks to be able to use HTC Home.

Thank you smittyofdhs,
but "install the 2.1 version", of HHC ? or htc home plugin?

Newb trying to help!
Ok, here's the weather fix that worked for me. I am Currently using Dutty's TouchFlo Hybrid No.2 Final and HHCv.10b5 on my Tilt.
The following info was derived from N2A's post HERE. I just wanted to provide the instance specific fix for as it seems this might be a popular configuration. Hope its a good first post! Again this is what worked for me!
Pre-fix measures: In the HHC program be sure the weather database is set at Default.
Fix:
1) Install sdkcerts.cab to your device. Soft reset. (not sure if you have to reset but thats how i did it)
2)Install KaiserHTCHomeDLL.CAB. (Thanks N2A) This users post can be viewed HERE, This is the user that runs the weather server and has created the fixes. I belive! Much Credit to them.
3)Browse to My Device\WINDOWS\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml. Activesync and Copy this file to Your Desktop Pc. If your having trouble seeing your Windows Directory from your PC start file explorer from your device and browse to the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. Copy the file to My documents on the device then copy the file file to the PC.
4)On the PC, right click the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. Select "Open With" then "Notepad".
5) In Notepad each location will appear as so. <city name="Atlanta, US" loca="NAM|US|GA|ATLANTA " land="United States "/>
6)Copy one of these lines and paste it directly under the original.
7)Edit the new line to reflect Your City like so. <city name="Your City, US" loca="xxxxx" land="United States "/> (xxxxx represents the Zip Code of the city your adding)
You can add more than one city if you choose.
8) Save your changes.
9) Replace the current .xml file in my documents with the one you just edited.
10) From your device, Open Total Commander then open the My Documents folder, browse to the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml and select the "Copy/Move" option. Press the "Tree" button, highlight the Windows folder, press OK then press the "Move" button followed by the "Overwrite" button. Close Total Commander.
11)Select your city by going to the weather tab, and clicking on the area below "Weather". Choose your local town/city from the list.
12) Soft Reset.
Notes: The "US" inside the city name section of the .xml file can be changed to represent your state two letter postal code.
If your not using this configuration or just want more info you can visit N2A's post HERE.
Much thanks to all the pros that make this possible!

M2D Weather - Adding Custom Cities Tutorial

I just copied my other post to make it easier to find over here. Hopefully you will all find it useful and enjoy the information.
For those who might not understand how to do it, just wanted to post this guide here too.
What you need:
1) HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. I have attached one below which you can use, or alternatively you can copy the one from the your /windows folder.
2) If you don't have the version which is already patched then you will need the N2A patched file attached below as well.
Here are the steps:
1) Open HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml using Notepad.
2) You will see many cities listed like this:
<city name="Anchorage, US" loca="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE " land="United States " /> (original)
<city name="Ketchikan, AK" loca="NAM|US|AK|KETCHIKAN" land="United States" /> (copied and edited)
Simply copy one of the cities from your country, or state and then edit the city information. You will notice in the example above i have changed "Anchorage, US" to "Ketchikan, AK" as this is just what will display on the screen. The section marked loca=con"CONTINENT|COUNTRY|STATE|CITY" must be typed in correctly or else you will not get any data.
3) Repeate step 2 for as many cities as you would like to add.
4) Disable touchflo on the today screen
5) Copy Manila2D.exe (if you are not using the version already patched), and your newly edited HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file to the /windows folder.
6) Enable touchflo on the today screen again.
7) Go to weather and add new city, the new cities should be available to you. I would remove any old cities you had before as well.
Weather won't download via edge or 3g:
For those of you still having problems with the weather plug-in here is another thing I did to fix it:
1. Go to Settings - Connections - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks - Edit (MEdia Net) - Proxy Settings -> UNCHECK BOTH OPTIONS
2. Soft Reset
It should work fine

Scotchua, nice tutorial. I've been using several of your fixes since I discovered them. However, the one note missing from your Manila2D Weather Custom Cities tutoria is how to determine the loca="NAM|US|AK|KETCHIKAN".
I have the solution! For most US locations, you can use the 5-digit ZIP code, but to determine ANY location, including outside the US, use this link to AccuWeather's RSS.
Simply put in your location as instructed in the 'Choose a location' field and click 'Set'. (For this example, I used Whistler, Canada.) The page then generates a URL for you, which looks like accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0&locCode=NAM|CA|BC|WHISTLER. The piece after locCode= (which I've hilited in Red) is what goes in the loca="" field in the XML file.
Then complete your tutorial, and choose the custom cities! Hope this helps someone else looking to make a quick fix.

Here's An Entirely New Method. I tried and it works on PDA V9 (Only one i tried it on).
macrossmerrell said:
Hi all,
Here is what I did to fix my the darn weather problem using my AT&T Tilt through MediaNet.
1. Make a copy of the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml in the Windows folder.
2. Modify the file to include your info. (for me the zip code worked). See the examples below:
Code:
<city name="Idaho Falls, ID" loca="83406" land="United States"/>
<city name="Idaho Falls, ID, US" loca="NAM|US|ID|IDAHO-FALLS" land="United States"/>
3. Copy the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml back to your device (your storage card or My Documents)
4. Disable TouchFlo in your Today Screen settings
5. Using TotalCommander overwrite the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file in the Windows folder
6. Go to Settings, Connections tab, Connections program and select the "Manage existing connections" option.
7. Click the Proxy Settings tab and uncheck the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" option.
8. Click the OK at the top left.
9. Once again, select the "Manage existing connections" option.
10. Click the "Edit..." button for your MediaNet or ISP connection
11. Click Next, Next
12. Click the "Advanced..." button
13. Click the Servers tab at the bottom
14. Click "Use specific server address" and enter the two following addresses for DNS and Alt DNS:
208.067.222.222
208.067.220.220
15. Click OK at the top, then Finish at the bottom, click OK again at the top, then OK again.
16. Reenable TouchFlo in your Today options
17. Go to the Weather Tab and Add your city
18. Enjoy
I have tested the solution on are Garmin's ROMs, but it should solve proxy server issues and DNS issues relating to AT&T's seriously out of date default DNS servers (the proxy server uses an up to date DNS server).
The above DNS servers are from OpenDNS www.opendns.com
Please post and/or PM me if this solution works for you. I've been frustrated at the lack of working weather for my area, so this is the crazy solution I came up with!

Any Suggestions
Hi, I've done everything. However when I try to copy the new file I created with the HH_0409 exe there's problems.
1) when i go into windows on my device and go the the HH_file it will not let me copy it or deleate it, so i could then put in the new file.
2) when I try to copy and paste my new file titled the same HH_0409_WeatherCities to the Windows in device I get a error message that reads (error copy file, cannot copy HH_4090_WeatherCities access is denied. Be certain that there is enough free storage memory that the destination is not write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.)
I have unchecked TouchFlo as stated and done everything as listed. I'd somehow had this working when using MD2 but now that I'm using the Solace 1.5 rom, I'll be darn that I can get this to work. I'm trying to put Millsboro, DE USA into the darn thing. If you have any suggestions I'd be greatly appreciative.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, I've done everything. However when I try to copy the new file I created with the HH_0409 exe there's problems.
1) when i go into windows on my device and go the the HH_file it will not let me copy it or deleate it, so i could then put in the new file.
2) when I try to copy and paste my new file titled the same HH_0409_WeatherCities to the Windows in device I get a error message that reads (error copy file, cannot copy HH_4090_WeatherCities access is denied. Be certain that there is enough free storage memory that the destination is not write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.)
I have unchecked TouchFlo as stated and done everything as listed. I'd somehow had this working when using MD2 but now that I'm using the Solace 1.5 rom, I'll be darn that I can get this to work. I'm trying to put Millsboro, DE USA into the darn thing. If you have any suggestions I'd be greatly appreciative.
Thank you in advance.

I use total commander (which i have added as an attachement to the first post) to copy the files. If you have tf2d, and done a soft reset, but still cannot copy the files using total commander then i really don't know why your files cannot be overwritten. I've honestly never had that problem before, so i just don't have anyway to help you.

I also got that same error when I was using file explorer but I did get it to work when I used Total Commander.
I downloaded the file to my desktop.
Then opened it with notepad.
Added my city
I then choose to save as and selected the file on my desktop to be overwritten.
I copied it to my storage card.
I then copied it using total commander to the windows directory with TF2d disabled.
soft reset
enabled TF2d and it was there.

Can you give example of with zip code. I tried it using the info off the rss feed hyperlink and still nothing. Thanks.

First Post Updated

NOt working for me
Scotchua, thanks for taking the time to put this together. I have edited my HH_0409... file and put the cities in. Now I am able to select the custom cities as new locations but I get the "unable to download..." message for those cities whil the original cities will download weather just fine.
Any ideas?
thanks.

good stuff

you need to either copy the patched manila2d.exe file over to /windows or change the DNS server addresses. I tried both methods and they work. They're both in the instructions.

Thanks!

Hey I appreciate the help...I am up and running now. I had saved the Manila2D.exe file to my storage card--I thought I just had to run it like a .cab but obviously (I overlooked it before) you have to save it to /windows. (I didn't have to mess with the DNS settings and I was able to simply enter using the zip code method.)
Guys like you are an asset to the forum...

can you do a step by step using total comander, I stil get a message that the files can not be replaced

I have the same problem. I am using a touch cruise with chavon bravo's rom. Cant move the manila file to windows.

NOTE: OPEN THE XML WITH NOTEPAD, NOT WORDPAD.
Word pad will translate foreign characters and will corrupt the XML file.

I did the step by step instructions, copied both files to the windows folder, and then restarted touchflo. Wheni go to Select location, its completely blank. Any ideas on this one?

still nothing
i'm using hyperdragon IV IOLITE, with touchflo but same trouble, when i've update the XML the new location appears, but when i sync nothing comes, but if i overwrite the patched Manila2d.exe now doesn't come up the manilla.
i don't need the Connection setting, cuz i'm a Mexican user, i've my own settings.
any idea, anybody know if the Hyperdragon IV IOLITE has already the manilla patched version?
this is the change in the XML NAM|MX|MX019|MONTERREY, the original MONTERREY has MX005 and comes with other weather forecast not from my city
i've tried two ways, overtwritin' the original Monterrey item, and adding another as MonterreyNL, and as i told you, in both ways the new setting pops now but can't get weather and in the other locations JUST FINE!!

Custom M2D Weather
hi guys, maybe I have the definitive solution to setting new cities on M2D weather. (or at least on my Kaiser go on)
1) in M2D weather set one city whatever you want is indifferent.
2) disable touchflo in today setup
3) open REGISTRY EDITOR and go on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then open software, then open HTC, then open Manila2D, then open Weather here you have two choice "0" and "setting" in both of them there are two item: "Location" and "Location Code". (you have to modify the item in "0" and in "setting")
So, when you tap in Location, you have to insert a string like this:
Caprese Michelangelo, It (first city name and after the nation)
When you tap in location code, you have to insert a string like this:
eur|it|it016|Caprese Michelangelo
If you want repeat for other city. At the end enable touchflo on the today screen again and upgrade the weather.
Work fine for me on my Tytn II.

original manila
where can i get the original manila2d? cuz i dont like the patched one

pincopinco,
You the man!! Just tried it on my TyTNII and worked first time! Outstanding!

I seem to have deleted a DWORD in HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/MANILA 2D/WEATHER/SETTINGS because the keyboard was in the way and I rewrote a DWORD by mistake. Could anyone please list all DWORDS under HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/MANILA 2D/WEATHER/SETTINGS?

FINALLY a simple fix-Thanks!

Man, thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the first fix that worked easily without messing up something else. City data now updating like a charm on my Vogue. Thanks again for sharing.
